I have a vintage military Hamilton wristwatch. It states USN BUSHIP on the back and on the dial. It has a screw cap with a chain that goes over the crown. I've seen a Elgin model that looks similar to it , I was wondering which came first the Hamilton or Elgin. The watch I have was found in an abandon storage shed, I'd say it's in near mint condition looks all original and runs great any idea what it's worth ? thanks | ||

I believe the Elgin is earlier. Ballpark Value is in the area of $1000 if all original, etc. | ||

I recently acquired what appears to be a German presentation aviator�s pocket watch as shown in the attached photos. The reverse has a silhouette of what appears to be a Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor. The Dresden 8-9 May 1937 commemorates the Eastern front losses of that campaign date. Also the date corresponds with the commercial flights made by this aircraft before WW2 from about 1935. The overall diameter is 50mm, the case is steel and nickel plate with brass or bronze attachments. I wonder if anyone could suggest an approximate value and give any further information for this watch that is in excellent working and un-cleaned condition. The Movement number and Type seem to be correct for the date. Many thanks     | ||
